Lao Tzu wrote, "When you realize there is nothing lacking, the whole world belongs to you." Mary Steratore's necklace is a beautiful reminder that the wearer is never alone, but is at one with a universe of abundance. Its sterling silver charm takes the shape of yin and yang, the interconnected symbol of balance and harmony. The 22k gold vermeil pendant forms a Zen circle, representing enlightenment and the wholeness of the universe. Artist Mary Steratore gathers her materials from around the globe: waxes and molds are made in Italy, the charms are cast in Thailand, and the chain is made in the USA. She assembles the final necklace in the USA.
